Main Maintenance Operations; Checking Brake And Clutch Fluid Level - Ducati SPORTCLASSIC PAUL SMART 1000 LIMITED EDITION 2006 Owner's Manual

MAIN MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS

Checking brake and clutch fluid level

Fluid level should never fall below the MIN mark on each
reservoir (fig. 37, fig. 38 and fig. 39).
If level drops below the limit, air might get into the circuit
and affect the operation of the system involved.
Brake and clutch fluid must be topped up and changed at
the intervals specified in the routine maintenance chart
(see Warranty Card) by a Ducati Dealer or Authorised
Workshop.
Important
It is recommended all brake and clutch lines be
changed every four years.
Brake system
If you find exceeding play on brake lever or pedal and brake
pads are still in good condition, contact your Ducati Dealer
or an Authorised Workshop to have the system inspected
and any air drained out of the circuit.
Warning
Brake and clutch fluid will damage paintwork and
plastic parts if accidentally spilled.
Hydraulic oil is corrosive; it may cause damage and lead to
severe injury.
Never mix different quality oils.
Check seals for proper sealing.
